3:41pm

Harriers win a free kick on the right. Kyle Storer whips it in but Gateshead clear it well enough.

3:39pm

Kyle Storer dives to head the ball onto his own bar from an Odubade cross. That's the closest any one has came to scoring.

3:13pm

Harriers create a good opening. Kyle Storer crosses from the right and Nathan Blissett beats his marker but his header is a tad too weak and the keeper saves.

3:11pm
